God concept, bad acting

Rating: 5/10 (11 August 2013)

Like many other recent movies I've seen, I came out of the teather with a feeling that this movie had allot of potential, but got messed up in editing. Or maybe the recent growth is TV/streaming-series has make me more picky on character building.
In summary, Pasific Rim has great concept, excellent effects, decent action, decent pacing, lack of character building and horrible acting by Rinko Kikuchi. Her character could have been good, but it fails to deliver and is simply poorly executed.
It's a good action movie overall, but severely dragged down by bad acting and not taking enough time to get to know the characters involved.
